What you learned

Paint adjustments on part of an image

Use familiar brush strokes to paint adjustments wherever you want them. Just choose an adjustment type, like brightness/contrast or hue/saturation, and paint the adjustment directly on your image. Then fine-tune the adjustment settings to get just the result you want, exactly where you want it.

Quickly apply adjustments to a specfic object

Adjust a specific object nondestructively with a few clicks. Isolate an object to adjust using the Adjustment Brush Tool’s Apply to object option. Then choose an adjustment type and customize its settings. You can even add additional adjustments to the same area.
